Guide: These 11+ PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (18th-24th August)

Right, things are tipping into mayhem. The launch lineup looks gentle for seven days, yet after that it’s non-stop chaos straight through to the holidays. Consider yourself alerted.

We’d say the standout this round is Sword of the Sea, already aboard PS Plus Extra for subscribers. Discounty deserves a nod as well, in our view.

Below lies the full roster of PS5 and PS4 titles dropping in the seven days ahead.
